Concentration/extermination camp for Palestinians. "They" are untouchable "They" are the elected people "They" can kill as they please "We" are sub-humans to them. Today it is Palestinians, tomorrow it could be you. Zionists are sick.

Facts: Israel did not initiate anything. Tehran tried to draw a red line around how Israel may defend itself after IRGC-backed Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, Syrian and Iraqi ‘resistance’ militias, and the Houthis attacked. When it didn’t like the way Israel fought for its survival, it launched True Promise I and True Promise II, which were at the time the largest mass salvos of missiles and drones from one sovereign territory to another in the history of modern warfare. So let’s put this ridiculous little spin factory to bed already. Tehran is eating crow because it decided it was a particularly sharp idea to rope the United States into the chaos it sparked in the region. After attacking US troops over 170 times through its proxies after Oct 7, it decided to create a force protection crisis by threatening American presence in the region if Washington didn’t withdraw from Centcom or actively coerce Israel from defending itself. Anyone suggesting that we should have capitulated to Tehran when it took our presence hostage in the region is strategically blind or illiterate. It’s an indefensible position. What the hell kind of “choice” is “Hey, I’m going to shoot your kids in the neighbors backyard if you don’t stop your cop brother from from coming in with a search warrant for my unregistered automatic arsenal” ?! Who even thinks to justify that kind of behavior. Thank god for an executive with the metal to slam a fistful of BATNA on the table.

@LekhtNaya @gabedrawsX What still remains unexplained is why the Soviet spent so much energy in this propaganda? Why were Jews such a threat to them? Who were they really targeting? @LekhtNaya

I’m asked this a lot in my lectures: Why did the Soviets invest so many resources in propagating antizionism globally? Did they really hate Jews that much? The answer is that they invested in antizionism because it worked for them, both geopolitically and domestically. To be sure, there were many individuals in the Soviet antizionist apparatus who were driven by personal antisemitism. The Zionologists — individuals tasked with formulating the key tenets of the ideology — are the prime example. But at the state level, the demonization of Israel served much bigger, strategic purposes. It strengthened the Soviet-Arab alliance. It helped mobilize groups and states around the world against the US and the West, pulling them into the Soviet anti-Western orbit, including at the UN. At home, it functioned as a warning to other minorities: don’t organize around your own national interests, and definitely forget about any emigration demands. For the Soviets, antizionism was a tool — and a highly effective one at that. That’s why they kept using it, even when internal discussions acknowledged that their antizionist language was echoing the Protocols and Nazi propaganda. This is useful to understand because antizionism is still a political tool today. We talk a lot about antizionist hate, and there is no question that much of it is driven by that. But there are also political entrepreneurs who use antizionism to get ahead: to gain social media followers, raise money, advance socially and professionally, or pursue political goals. States do the same: witness South Africa filing its case against Israel at the ICJ or China deploying antizionist propaganda online. When incentives align, antizionism gets used. And right now, antizionism is rewarded. It’s a crucial aspect of its growing popularity, and it’s really important that we understand it as we develop strategies to combat it.

🧵An IDF strike on the Abu Musa home in Gaza on Nov 9, 2023 was reported as killing civilians including a Sheikh. But Hamas now admits the “Sheikh” was a Qassam Commander; the family confirms another member was also a combatant. This is the second Sheikh combatant revealed. 1/





A friendly reminder that, in late Ottoman Palestine, Jews, Muslims & Christians celebrated each other's holidays together: 1. Jews & Muslims celebrated Orthodox Easter w/Christians. 2. Muslims & Christians dressed up and partied for the Jewish holiday of Purim. 3. Jews & Christians joined Muslim pilgrimages & holidays It was a world before Zionism contaminated relations between Jews, Muslims & Christians in Palestine. palestine-studies.org/en/node/78121 I dive deeper into this history here: palestinenexus.com/courses

Jesus was a Palestinian. Happy Easter.
